A short presentation will be followed by an interactive Q&A. The event is open to those from all backgrounds, but they are especially looking for STEM students. The Program: The full-time Analyst program is open to students from any field of study (particular interest in STEM/Economics students- but all disciplines are very welcome) in the penultimate/final year of their undergraduate and graduate level studies, and would commence in August 2025. You can learn more and apply here. The Summer Analyst Program is open to students from any field of study in their penultimate and final year of undergraduate and graduate level studies; the Program lasts 9-weeks and is based in Zug, Switzerland. The primary purpose of the Summer Analyst Program is to provide a pathway to a private markets career for candidates from backgrounds that are typically under-represented in financial services. Financial Analyst Program Description: The Partners Group Financial Analyst Program starting in August 2025 is a unique opportunity for recent university graduates with strong credentials looking to start an exciting and challenging career as an investment professional with a world-leading private markets investment firm. The program will allow Financial Analysts to experience year-long rotations among a subset of Partners Group's asset classes: Private Equity, Private Debt, Private Infrastructure, Royalties and Private Real Estate. Analysts will gain valuable exposure working in collaboration with various teams across the firm globally. Analysts will go through a formal 4-week training program and gain hands-on experience through the entire investment process before starting their first rotation. Successful candidates will be required to complete a 2-3-year commitment in the program and will gain the financial and analytical skills required to continue a career in private markets investing. Upon completion of 2-3 rotations, analysts will permanently join one of the teams they rotated with. While the first rotation will be based in our headquarter in Zug, further rotations are not geographically restricted and, subject to business needs, can also be based in our European offices in London, Munich, and Paris Partners Group is a global private markets investment firm, serving over 1,000 institutional investors. We have USD 150 billion in assets under management and more than 1,800 professionals across 21 offices worldwide. We realize potential in private markets by financing and developing great companies, desirable real estate and essential infrastructure. We create value in our investments through active and long-term responsible ownership.
